Quintus Fabricius is suspected to have been either the son or grandson of the Quintus Fabricius who was a
Plebeian Tribune in 57 BC. A long-standing supporter of the party of
Augustus, his loyalty was rewarded in 2 BC when the events that led to the banishment of
Julia the Elder and the execution of a number of prominent Roman senators saw him granted a suffect consulship on 1 December, replacing
Gaius Fufius Geminus, who may also have been caught up in the political crisis. If this was so, then Augustus saw Fabricius as a man whose loyalty was unwavering during this time of crisis. There is nothing further known about his career, either before or after his suffect consulship. ==Family==
